The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have refused to extend the tax credits that have made health coverage affordable for people under the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations have been extended. Currently, 90% of marketplace enrollees receive the tax credit. This includes small businesses, contractors, and self-employed individuals. The tax credits for the Affordable Care Act will expire in December. Without them, millions of people will face an increase in their insurance premiums or simply won’t be able to afford their insurance coverage.

A government shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass or the president refuses to sign a spending bill to fund the federal government. Typically, Congress temporarily solves the issue by passing a continuing resolution, which provides short-term funding while they negotiate a long-term solution. Since 1990, every shutdown has been ended by a continuing resolution. The risk of a government shutdown is not new. There have been 10 shutdowns since the budget process was established in 1976.

Congress has a choice: protect healthcare for millions of Americans, or fund tax breaks for big corporations and billionaires. If they can’t agree, the government will shut down, leaving workers unpaid, closed services, and millions at risk of losing coverage. Meanwhile, the wealthiest walk away with more.

While families are struggling to keep up with rent, groceries, and medical bills, Trump and GOP representatives like Amodei are cutting over a trillion dollars from Medicaid and Medicare, while giving handouts to big corporations and the top 1%. #governmentshutdown

Well, you know how cats treat mice!

Trump says calling Walz after Minnesota shootings would be 'waste of time' President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday that he "may" call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after a political assassination sent shockwaves through the state.

I haven't been on Bluesky in, like, FOREVER! So I need to catch up on news. Here's a statement from the Trump Administration on the recent* act of senseless political violence: abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

*I know it was a few weeks ago. But here's Trump responding to a political act of violence.

Car takes an exit ramp with a sign reading Veto Nearly 200 Bills The Last 2 Leg. Sessions

He vetoed rent caps, education investments, and healthcare reforms — but is bending over backwards for a Hollywood handout. Make it make sense. #NVLeg #PeopleFirst

✅Short-Term Tax Breaks, Long-Term Pain: The bill’s limited deductions expire in a few years, offering no lasting help for working families.
✅Cuts to Critical Support: Reductions to Medicaid, SNAP, and other safety net programs leave families more vulnerable in times of need.

✅Over 100,000 Nevadans could lose Medicaid or other essential healthcare coverage.
✅Cuts impact children, seniors, and low-income families across the state.
✅Higher Out-of-Pocket Costs: Families may face rising premiums, deductibles, or be forced to delay care.

Job Losses: Over 21,000 clean energy jobs in Nevada are at risk due to cuts in tax credits.

Investment Slashed: Billions in clean energy projects and investments are threatened or canceled.

Taxes Still Apply: Tips, overtime, and Social Security are still taxed for most Nevadans despite GOP promises.
Temporary & Limited Relief: The few deductions offered are short-term and phase out for many middle-income workers.

Last week, GOP leaders on the Ways & Means Committee take a victory lap in Las Vegas. Now Nevada families face higher costs, job losses, and healthcare cuts. The Big Beautiful Bill isn’t a win—it’s a warning. #NVPolitics #BigBeautifulBill #BigBeautifulBacklash

DHS is urging DACA recipients to self-deport "DACA does not confer any form of legal status in this country," said DHS assistant press secretary Tricia McLaughlin, who then encouraged "every person here illegally" to self-deport.

Pres. Trump claims to support Dreamers, but we know that's a lie.

He killed bipartisan legislation for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, and now his admin. is using cruel tactics to pressure DACA recipients to leave the only country they've ever known.

Free meals? Vetoed. Homeless students? Ignored. $61M in school funding? Gone. Thanks, Lombardo. #nvleg #StopTheCuts #ClawsOut #Resist

Lombardo didn’t just veto free school meals—he also let $61 MILLION in federal education dollars vanish. Then told schools ONE DAY before the deadline. He’s not incompetent. He’s intentional. #LombardoVeto #nvpol

Nevada schools lost $61 MILLION in federal funding thanks to the dismantling of the Department of Education—backed by Trump and Lombardo. And schools were only given 1 DAY'S NOTICE. This is cruelty, not policy. #nvleg #SaveOurSchools#LombardoNT

AB397 would have eliminated burdensome registration and lab fees for students who had experienced homelessness. He vetoed it this year, making education even more inaccessible for Nevada’s most vulnerable.

He sided with Trump to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education—costing Nevada $61 million in school funding.
This decision stripped over 15% of federal K-12 education funding in Nevada, targeting programs meant to help English language learners, after-school programs, and high-need students.

🧵Let’s talk about what Gov. Lombardo has actually done to Nevada schools #nvleg #NevadaStudentsDeserveBetter

We cancelled streaming services back in January when the Tech Bros lined up to peek at Lauren Sanchez's (not yet Bezos') cleavage at the inauguration. Now we dip into YouTube in incognito mode to watch a treasure trove of old, free Hollywood films. Last night: Richard Burton in Prince of Players.

Our "Paws for Hydration Station" offering refreshing water and treats to our Doggo allies will be at the next Capital City #50501 Rally. Stop by and learn more about the Cat Lady platform and our goals for a warm and welcoming home for all of our four-footed friends.
